Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Omahu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
